This woman is awesome:

“I’ve been arrested nine times for civil disobedience; I want to be arrested 12 times,” Goldin said Thursday. “And I was sure I’d be arrested today, but the cops were determined because of the bad publicity for them, to not arrest an 87-year-old woman.”

“I said [to an officer], ‘What if I socked you in the eye?,’ and he said, ‘I’d give you a free shot,’” Goldin said. “‘Well, what if I kneed you in the groin?,’ and he said, ‘No, you’re not going to get arrested!’”
